David D: This reel operates smoothly. I have only used it once so far, but I am pleased with this purchase. I love the casting trigger.

Amazon Customer: I have 4 of these reels. A few for bass and a few for crappie. The quick shot trigger is such a great feature for casting. Definitely a must have for crappie fishing when you need those accurate casts at a tree or dock. The drag is always smooth and has plenty of "clicks" to dial it in to the exact tightness you want. They hold up great to the elements and do everything you need. The only reason why I have to replace mine is because I dropped my pole in the lake...

Thomas Nolan: The add described it as a back drag. When I received it was a front drag not what I expected

Steve Thompson: I purchased a syncopate model in the 90's and still use it today...my favourite reel.
I don't know why all reels don't use the quick-release system...fast and easy to use...let's you keep your eyes on the water and quicker casting. Smooth retrieve, nothing that I don't like about it!
It would be good if it came with an extra spool.

Captian Obivious: It's a light action reel the same dimensions as the Zebco that came with my dock demon rod/reel combo.

The Zebco rod reel combo is ok, the rod is nigh on indestructible, but just needs a better reel. The problem is though the rod due to its length has a tight angle from most reels that with such a short rod (36") hampers your casting ability.

Step in the Shimano, its upward angle gets the line aimed for the first eyelet, the reel itself holds a large quantity of line, and the one handed cast ability makes it superb for kayak fishing.

Now before anyone laughs, with this set up and good braided line, I can easily cast just as far as I can with a 5ft rod and the exact same lures. and for the cramped space of a kayak, wrangling a long rod reel combo is not a problem.
